The Karachi–Lahore Motorway (KLM) is a 1,152 km long road under construction that will connect Pakistan's two largest cities by a 4 to 6-lane controlled access highway designed for travel speeds up to 120 kilometers per hour.[1] It was devised in the early 1990s as a combination of the M5 Motorway, and M9 Motorway. It is now considered a major component of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, and will cost approximately $6.6 billion, with the bulk of financing to be distributed by various Chinese state-owned banks.
